Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, who met in New York, renewed their commitment to strengthening cooperation under the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement.
The two ministers, who were in the city to attend the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly, discussed issues related to the agreement as well as advancing regional peace, stability and security.
Development of the Mecca defense agreement
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed a bilateral defense agreement last year. Following that step, the trilateral Mecca defense agreement, which also includes Türkiye, was signed last month.
Ishaq Dar condemns attacks
Ishaq Dar said Pakistan's solidarity with Saudi Arabia would continue resolutely and condemned the recent attacks targeting the country.
Saudi Arabia has faced attacks by the Houthis in Yemen in recent weeks. The parties have also been subjected to air, missile and drone attacks during the ongoing U.S.-Iran war.
